Creative Kids: Trash to Treasure Frames with artist Ronja Schipper

Get creative these school holidays and turn trash into treasure for Plastic Free July! Join artist Ronja Schipper for a fun, hands-on workshop where kids will transform discarded bits and bobs into an ornate Baroque-style picture or mirror frame. Using broken toys, old gadgets, game pieces and other rescued materials, participants will create a one-of-a-kind artwork while exploring creative ways to reuse waste that might otherwise end up in landfill. Perfect for bedrooms or gifting, the finished piece can frame a favourite photo, artwork or small mirror. What to bring: • Small junk items from home such as broken toys or gadgets, game parts or interesting plastic bits and pieces • A glue gun if you have one (a limited number will be available to share) • Practical clothes you don’t mind getting messy What’s provided: • Picture frame base • Shared glue guns and materials • Spray painting by the tutor in a supervised outdoor spray booth (participants can choose their colour) Suitable for ages 10+ who can work fairly independently. Bookings are essential
